I'm really hungry and tired and hot but I thought I'd let you all know that I bought new flip flops today. They have lots of traction so hopefully I won't fall in the middle of the street anymore. Although, the minute I put them on and walked out of the store I proceeded to watch my toes and notice how the polish matches the sandals (pink). That's how I fell in the first place.
Eyes forward!
A little about me
I "roughed it" in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for three years with my (now ex) husband while we waited for his US visa. Well, we didn't really rough it -- we had running water & glass in the windows, but it was really hot.
He was denied in September 2009 & I returned to Michigan in February 2010, and while our story ended there, mine continues at Hoosblog and my dog, Owen, is documenting his life on Instagram.
I'm no longer posting to this blog, but I'm leaving it online so you can read about our journey. Check out the links under Posts That Explain Things to get the basics, or the tags at the bottom for specific categories.

ROFL ... do you have a foot fetish, perchance? ;-)
I ran out of contacts, and so I haven't been able to see my toes for two months. Today, I pulled my foot up to look up close, and ... it wasn't pretty. :-)
OMG! I almost never wear my contacts. I wear my glasses to drive but I was getting over an eye infection when I moved here last year and never got back in the habit of wearing them. Drives Ibis crazy because I can't see half the time. :)
Laser surgery works wonders.

Let's see a picture of those shoes.
I want Lasik so badly! That will come when our finances are back in normal working order.
Rechargeable batteries are coming tomorrow as well, so I'll post a picture then!
I was almost legally blind before I had lasik. I was in the 4th grade when I wore my first pair of glasses. By the time I was 25, they were as thick as magnifying glasses! I stopped wearing contacts when I developed an astigmatism. Luckily lasik cleared that up too! It was a 5 year anniv. gift from Mr. Turkey. I highly recommend it. But not from those lasik mills. Go to a doctor who specializes in cataract surgery and such. That way you know you are in good hands.
Congrats on the pink flip flops!
I'm getting you up/down blinders.
My friend busted out laughing when I realized what I was doing and made me look forward. Blinders might not be a bad idea...
